Ghanaian striker Caleb Ekuban was on target for Turkish side Trabzonspor in their Europa League third qualifying round first leg 2-2 draw at Czech side Sparta Prague on Thursday.

Sparta Prague, who had Ghana youth star Benjamin Tetteh in their line-up, were cruising to victory after taking a two-goal lead with goals from African stars Costa Nhamoinesu of Zimbabwe and Gabonese midfielder Guelor Kanga.

But Ekuban's volley went inside after 84 minutes to give the visitors hope by reducing the deficit.

One minute away from full-time, Alexander Sorloth scored the equalizer with a close-range finish.

Trabzonspor will face Sparta Prague for the second leg on August 14 at Medical Park Stadium for a place in the Group stages.
